BUT by doing so you greatly injure the wife and children you're leaving behind assuming you go to prison. You can't do a thing the dead boys, but the children that remain and his wife will need him and he won't be there... It will be like he's dead too.

I don't think he'll go to prison. He has the option of a jury and many will understand.

Take into account, there mght be a great chance, the guy isnt sentenced to death, could you live with the fact, they guy got to kill someone and come out as cheap as a few years in prison KNOWING that the act he was doing can cause death?

If i was a father i dont think i could live with it. ALso it would eat me up alive that i have to pay for his life on top of that.

Oh as a father I agree.

I know off the top of my head several cases locally (over the last few years) where the same thing has happened&#8211; where a drunk driver kills someone's child. And yes in many cases the drunk driver hasn't gotten a long prison term.

However if we start allowing folks to simply pop a cap in a drunk driver's knot... Well I'm not sure that's a path we want to go down... because where does it stop?

i dont know personally, but gun laws havent stopped violence and fines havent stopped it. So neither are the answers, sorry if thats to blunt i dont try to make it sound that way.

Trust me not trying to come off that i know more. Smply getting your view point and i like the conversation.

And now that some of this is going thru my head with another persons POV, i dont even think anything i would try would be the answer. But i can say the guy gave a few people pause about getting behind the wheel.

I know this because some people have shocked me by saying they agree with me that "the innocent didnt ask for it" and that the drunk person did take a life and maybe it should be considered that their life is forfiet."

Do i hav ethe answer that will work, no, can i judge this guy, definetly not. Can we allow it to go on, possibly not, but there is something said for vigiliatnism and possibly the threat of it will deter some of the results.

Where does it stop? I would say it stops when the number of habitual drunk drivers are killed off to zero. I am joking, but I know several drunk drivers from my area have been involved in accidents that resulted in deaths. Very, very few have ever served any time. I.have lost family members from drunk driving. It is hard to see a murderer go free.

My question is did it matter that the driver was drunk? The man just lost his kids in a horrific manner and he could've wanted revenge regardless of the circumstances. The driver being drunk could've been the final straw also, but who knows...
